Bans on abortion pills give rise to underground networks

Episode 323 | 9m 21s

Medication abortions account for more than 60 percent of all abortions in the United States, up from just a quarter a decade ago. But in the aftermath of Roe’s reversal, abortion pills are now banned in at least 14 states. Special correspondent Sarah Varney reports on the resulting rise of underground networks operating outside the legal system to help people access abortion medication.
